I've been new to PC gaming for a few years now and have finally been able to upgrade my system's graphics card. Does this graphics card work for my setup when I go to replace it?
Current Setup:
Windows 10
MSI B250 Bazooka Motherboard
Intel Extreme i7-7700k CPU @ 4.2 ghz
Thermaltake SP-600AH2NKW SMART SERIES 600 watt Power Supply
16gb DDR4 ram
Radeon RX-480 4gb
120 gb SSD
SATA III 2TB 7200 RPM HDD

If there's any other info needed I'll try to be hasty with replies.

Replace it, there's no way I'd risk a 1070 ti with that PSU.

So I bought that power supply but the cords didn't come with an 8 pin cable. Do I need to get an adapter or do I ship it's back and get a different one? Not sure if the adapter option is bad or not. The psu has a 4 pin (x2) and a 12 pin coming out of the unit while having two pci-e slots and 4 peripheral/SATA slots on the back. Also my motherboard has an 8 pin slot on the top left I might have the same issue with as well.

That PSU model comes with 2 PCI-EXPRESS 6+2-PIN CONNECTORS. You need to use one these to power up your GPU, if this is what you are asking for ?:

As long as all of the parts are in the box you should have two-6+2 pin PCIE cables for the GPU. The cables should be labeled as well, PCIE/CPU/24-pin for the motherboard/etc. The main cables are connected to the PSU while additional cables for the GPU will have to be manually connected.
